... No, try dividing something by zero on your calculator.

Anyway, if you want a different explanation, try this.

You downloaded a torrent with the public tracker. This means that none of those stats are reported under your name to the BakaBT private tracker, and thus your stats remain unchanged.

You next switched this torrent with a private one. Now, since you did not download any data, your "download" remains zero, but you are now seeding data. Therefore, your seed ratio for this particular torrent only, which is seeded/leeched, is infinite because the denominator is zero. And since you should never expect to have to download any more data on this torrent, the seed ratio for this torrent should always be infinite.

Now, your global ratio is currently 0.074. This is something you expect to go up while you seed without leeching anything. It is not an average of all your seed ratios, it is simply your total amount of seeded data divided by your total amount of leeched data, which is listed next to the green U and red D on the BakaBT pages while you are logged in.

Tl;dr the data you downloaded on that torrent isn't recorded but what you upload is.
